About the Estate/Region

By the time the second ﬂush is picked in the summer months of June and July, both the taste and the look of the teas have changed considerably. The buds and tips are now a silvery or golden-brown colour, while the colour in the cup ranges from coppery-gold to auburn. Mature second ﬂush teas of high quality are full-bodied and have a slightly nutty ﬂavour. The top teas possess the prized muscatel character but are very hard to find nowadays.
